How we help you succeed

Guiding Principles

We are trusted advisers on intellectual property to innovative companies all over the world.

There are systems baked into the fabric of our firm that ensure that we act as true trusted advisers (such as our complete guarantee, below).   If we can’t add value, then we keep out of the way until we’re needed again. We work alongside our clients and their other external advisers and focus on the areas where we will add value.

We invest unusually high resources in our own intellectual capital so that we can quickly bring the latest thinking to assist you.

All of our work is subject to the following complete guarantee:

If at the end of an engagement, you are unhappy with the value received, then you can decide how much to pay (if anything). There is only one condition, that in return for invoking the guarantee, you must first discuss the reasons for your decision with Duncan so that we can learn from them. In other words, if we don’t deliver the value you need, we’d rather learn why than get paid for that engagement.
